Lying off North Africa, the Canary Islands are a perfect destination for a walking holiday, renowned for their sunny climate, extraordinary landscape and friendly people. You can take your pick from the mountainous Tenerife, lush La Gomera, dramatic Gran Canaria and the striking island of La Palma. These are spectacular destinations for discerning walkers with an eye for abundant flora and natural beauty.
Home of the indigenous Guanche people, the islands are a charming blend of beautiful colonial buildings and historic towns with traditional farming life that has remained unchanged for centuries.
A veritable paradise for bird lovers and botanists, these islands also boast unique flora. Look out for curious indigenous shrubs and stonecrops, extinct elsewhere but on La Gomera, or hardy alpine vegetation on the slopes of Mount Teide. The terrain is rocky and volcanic, providing a superb habitat for 200 species of birds from falcons to the native canary.
Few places can match the natural beauty of the Canary Islands, especially Tenerife, which has become a mecca for enthusiastic walkers. Join us on this week long walking holiday, taking in the highlights of this stunning year-round destination.
